The latest developments: Horehound, the Dead Weather's awesomely titled debut album, now has a release date and a cover.

In the U.S., Horehound will be out on July 14 on Jack White's own Third Man imprint via Warner Bros. In the UK, it's due a day earlier via Third Man/Columbia. The cover, featuring Mosshart looking about ready to eat your brain, is above.

Thus far, the Dead Weather have only played a couple of tiny shows, at the Third Man headquarters in Nashville and the Bowery Ballroom in New York. But pretty soon, a whole lot more of us will get to experience what the few lucky folks at those shows got to see. The Dead Weather have now revealed dates for a full-scale North American summer tour. The trek kicks off July 13 in D.C. after one-off June shows in Louisville, London, and Paris. Dates below.
